The X38 Cone Crusher has been designed and constructed to reduce minerals such as stone
and concrete to a predetermined size. The X38 Cone Crusher must not be used for any other
purpose without first contacting Extec Screens & Crushers Ltd technical department.
The X38 Cone Crusher must not be operated until the instructions supplied with the machine are
read and fully understood.
3.2 Description
The X38 Cone Crusher is a self contained tracked machine built to withstand the rigours and
conditions of operating in quarries and within the construction industry.
The X38 Cone Crusher utilises a diesel engine to provide the power to the hydraulic power pack
and to generate electricity for the electrical systems of the machine.
The tracks, feeders, cone, conveyors and all other working parts of the machine are hydraulically
driven.
Where possible all of the moving parts of this machine are guarded, where not, warnings are
provided. The Safety Section of this manual must be read and fully understood. Any residual
organisational, personal and environmental issues must be fully addressed as detailed in the
safety section.
This equipment has been manufactured and assessed to be in accordance with the Machinery
Directive 98/37/EC.
Section 2 and 4 of this manual provides details of Transport, Commissioning and Operation. This
must be read and fully understood before operating this equipment.
Material is loaded into the slew feeder where the conveyor transfers the material up towards the
opening of the cone, passing under a spreader plate on its way.
When the material reaches the top of the conveyor, it falls into the cones rock box, once there
the material is forced through the cone, crushing it as it goes.
After the material has passed through the cone it is transferred onto the main conveyor. The
material continues along the main conveyor where it is unloaded to a pile or to waiting transport.

Prior to loading material into the machine, ensure that the machine is not vibrating or rocking
excessively. Stabilise with jacking legs if required, or relocate machine to more suitable ground.
1. Feeder MUST be running PRIOR to feed material being placed upon it. DO NOT start
feeder if it is full of material.
2. Material which is larger than 80% of feeder discharge chute should not be presented to
the feeder. STOP MACHINE and remove any large pieces of material with the
appropriate equipment. DO NOT use excavators to force any material into feeder as any
damage occurred from this action will invalidate any Extec Screens & Crushers Ltd
warrantees.
3. Material should be fed carefully, (not dropped onto feeder). Ensure that feeder is evenly
loaded.
4. It is recommended that the machine is fed from a screener/ jaw crusher or stockpiler
from a surge pile to keep an even flow of material at all times. DO NOT OVER FILL
HOPPER.
5. For maximum output and minimum wear, it is recommended that the crusher chamber is
fed consistently with the supply of material being steady and constant. STOP/ START
OPERATION OF THE FEEDER SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
6. Pressure switches are fitted to the crusher box side plate and should the crusher
chamber become overfilled for "X" minutes ("X" being adjustable to suit material) the
feeder will STOP until the material is reduced to an acceptable level. See Figure 1:
Adjusting feeder speed using control Panel. for adjusting feeder control speed. See
Figure 2: Starting/ Stopping feeder speed using remote control. for feeder cut-out switch.
When the machine is set up as described in the previous pages, it is now ready to be used to
crush the desired material. DO NOT START CRUSHING UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND
FULLY UNDERSTOOD THIS MANUAL.
The X44 Cone Crusher is fitted with a pressure sensing device that will cut out the operation of
the feeder when the pressure in the crusher chamber exceeds specified limits.
This reduces the chances of the crusher becoming blocked with material, as the machine will
have more time to deal with what is in the crusher chamber.
Once the pressure in the crusher chamber drops to within specified limits, the feeder will
automatically restart to give an uninterrupted crushing process. This system reduces the
chances of having to manually clear the crusher chamber and reduces the amount of down time.

1. Once the crusher is running, start to feed a steady stream of material into the feeder.
5: Control Panel
2. The feed of material can be regulated using the control panel situated in the hydraulic
control box.
3. For the optimum results the best way to feed the cone is with a screener or a crusher
with as much fines removed as possible.
The X44 Cone Crusher has an adjustable discharge setting capacity. To set the size of the
output material, carry out the following procedure.

WARNING!
Grease under pressure can cause serious injury. Never unscrew a track
adjuster valve by more than a ½ turn, when the track is under tension.
After maintenance or over time the track will become slack and will have to be adjusted. The
adjustment of the tracks operates through a tensioning cylinder (C). When the cylinder is filled
with grease it extends and pushes the spring tension unit (B), and the idler (A), forward. The
grease is filled through the track adjuster grease valve (D).

1: Track Adjustment
In order to establish if the track requires tensioning, move the Host machine a few metres
forwards and backwards on level ground. This allows the tracks to adopt their natural degree of
tension.
Using a straight edge and a measuring tape, measure the droop of the track group as shown at
(E). For this particular track set, the droop should not exceed 30 mm.
Note: It is also important that the track is not tensioned too tightly as this places excessive
loads on the gearbox and idler bearings. It will also lead to accelerated wear and
premature failures.

Clean under machine as shown in following photographs
as required.
1: Using jacking legs, lift the machine off 2: Ensure that locking pins and R-clips are fitted

Symptoms:
Engine is shutting down and remote stop lamp on EPU is showing.
The crusher electronics shuts down the engine via the EPU for 3 reasons:
1. Signal received by receiver from correctly coded handset requesting “fast stop”.
2. Red button on override handset has been pressed.
3. Crusher control box has lost communications with the receiver unit.
To identify which of the above cases is correct please look at the lamps above the interlock on
switch, the interlock off switch and the lamp above the jaw remote switch.
Case 1)
Receiver believes it is receiving a signal from a handset. Lamp state as follows:
Lamp above jaw remote switch: Flashing
Lamp above interlock off switch: Lit
Lamp above interlock on switch: Dark
Before the crusher shuts down, the green lamp on the track LED box should flash briefly to
indicate signal being received from handset.
Check:
All handsets are switched off. If necessary remove batteries from small handset.
Case 2)
Override handset used. Lamp state as follows:
Lamp above jaw remote switch: Flashing
Lamp above interlock off switch: Dark
Lamp above interlock on switch: Dark
Check:
Unplug manual handset, check back of socket for manual handset for dirt/ water contamination
or damage to wiring.
Case 3)
Lost communications. The crusher control box (unit with 36 way connector inside switch box) is
having problems communicating with the receiver unit. Lamp state as follows:
Lamp above jaw remote switch: Lit
Lamp above interlock off switch: Flashing
Lamp above interlock on switch: Flashing
Check:
• Receiver is switched on, red lamp should flash whilst crusher is still running, will change
to constantly illuminated when crusher shuts down.
• Track lamps run through start up test, this test is actually performed by the receiver, if the
track lamps perform test then the receiver is communicating correctly with the track
lamps box.
• Check 6 way connector near the receiver; all wires are matched up with the correct
colour wire on both sides of the receiver. Connector is plugged in securely and all wires
are secure in the crimp contacts.
• Check yellow and white wires inside switch box are securely fitted to screw terminals.
• Check yellow and white wires from screw terminal inside switch box to 36 way connector
on crusher control box. White wire should go to bottom row, end contact on the right of
the connector as you look into the switch box. The yellow wire is on the same row to the
left of this. The important point is that the white wire is on the end contact and the yellow
is one contact in. Check these wires to ensure they are not swapped or poorly crimped.
(Where applicabla.)
Check pressure at test points shown to check the feeder, magnet, side and main conveyor using
a 0 - 250 bar pressure gauge. Pressure readings when running empty should be:
4. Side conveyor - 30 bar. Peak pressure - 200 bar.
5. Feeder (Cold start) - 100 bar - this should drop to 50 bar when warm. Peak pressure -
200 bar.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The METALARM (MA) 3000 Metal Detector, consists of a control unit, one or more sensor coils
dependent upon the application and optional accessories such as the sack dropper.
The optional QUARRYMASTER version of the control unit is constructed from stainless steel and is fitted
with an anti condensation heater & thermostat for frost protection. The thermostat is normally set to
+5°C.
These instructions are concerned with the installation and operation of the control unit, sensor coils
and accessories.

2.0 INSTALLATION
The MA3000 control unit is supplied with HDPE (high density polyurethane) mounting brackets for wall
mounting. Dimensions are shown in the diagram, Figure 1.
Ideally the control unit should be mounted within 3-5 metres of the sensor coil unit and no more than
20 metres.
The MA3000 control unit will normally be mounted by means of four M8 or 5/16 inch bolts utilizing the
four mounting holes.
Adequate clearance must be allowed below the control unit enclosure to allow for cable entry and
exit.
On no account must the HDPE mounting brackets be replaced, as these are provided to electrically
isolate the control unit from the metal conveyor framework. Similarly no metal work should be in
contact with the metal control unit case after mounting on the conveyor.
Failure to comply with the above mounting procedures will invalidate the 'CE' certificate covering
the EMC regulations.
The following instructions give details of how to install the various types of standard search coils
supplied as part of the Metalarm Metal Detector.
A) Locate a suitable position in the conveyor mid way between two idler sets where:
1. There will not be a return idler or cross piece beneath the search coil.
3. Metal when detected can easily be removed from the conveyor belt
5. Where any metal base plate present can be removed or replaced by non metallic material.
B) Place the search coil on the conveyor frame at the chosen position. There should be at least a
25mm (1 inch) gap between the underneath of the (fully loaded) conveyor belt and the top
of the search coil. If not cut out notches in the bottom of the search coil at all four corners so
as to lower the search coil within the conveyor frame.
C) Brackets to hold the search coil to the conveyor frame (not supplied) should be fitted to the
coil to secure it to the conveyor stringers.
D) The search coil should then be bolted to the conveyor frame so that the coil socket is on the
opposite side of the conveyor frame to any heavy duty cables.
E) The idlers either side of the search coil should be checked to see that all nuts and bolts have
been tightened down. Ideally the idler frames should also be spot welded once at each of
the four corners to the conveyor frame.

The cable to connect the search coil to the control unit should then be plugged into the
underneath of the search coil and run back to the control unit. The cable should be tied down so it
does not get damaged.

3. Metal when detected can easily be removed from the conveyor belt
5. Where any metal base plate present can be removed or replaced by non metallic material.
B) Assemble the lower coil on the side supports & place on the conveyor frame at the chosen
position. There should be at least a 25mm (1 inch) gap between the underneath of the (fully
loaded) conveyor belt and the top of the search coil. If not cut out notches in the bottom of
the search coil at all four corners so as to lower the search coil within the conveyor frame.

four corners to the conveyor frame.
In the case of series connection, connect the lower coil using the short length of cable provided
using the unmarked socket on the top coil. The cable to connect the search coil to the control unit
should then be plugged into the socket marked ‘CU’ on the top search coil and run back to the
control unit. See 3.2
In the case of transmit/receive mode operation; both coils are connected direct to the control unit.
See 3.2. Remember, in both cases make sure the cables are tied to the conveyor frame to prevent
them being damaged.

2.2.4 “U” Section belt conveyors or vibrator conveyors - Search coils (figure 3/4)
A) Locate a suitable position in the conveyor where there is going to be no metal within 500mm of
the underneath of the search coil when it is mounted onto the conveyor. Simultaneously there
is no moving metal in close proximity to the search coil. In the case of vibrator conveyor the coil
is usually located midway between two of the vertical supports.
B) To install a trough coil, it is necessary to cut out a length of the base and part of the side walls of
the conveyor. The dimensions of the required cut out can be found by measuring the recessed
area of the search coil.

C) Draw a line 25mm from the edge of the cut out. Along this line drill M8 holes at 100mm (4 inches)
spacing or longer depending upon the weight and width of the search coil. Countersink the
holes from inside the conveyor.
D) Locate the search coil into the cut out and clamp into position. Then using the trough as a
template spot mark through the holes from the inside of the trough directly onto the coil.
E) Fix the search coil into position using countersunk M8 bolts x 40mm long, shakeproof washers,

Plate coils can either be mounted beneath a pre-prepared metal free section such as wood or
fiberglass, or providing the plate coil is an SF or SFC type directly onto the base of a metal sided
conveyor.
In the latter case if the base of the conveyor is metal this must be removed for the length of the coil
plus 3mm.
The search coil can be drilled into or through in any of the crossed areas shown below as long as it is
a minimum of 25mm away from the coil windings.

The standard electrical connections are for power supply connections and for sensor coil
connections. Other cables may be added as necessary for control and monitoring functions.
Please note where armoured cables are being used, the armouring must be cut back at the gland
plate of the control unit such that it does not touch the Metal Detector Control Unit, as this will
compromise the electrical isolation of the Control Unit.
This also applies to electrical trunking.

The sensor coil connection is made via the right hand 4 way terminal block TB4. When only one coil
is used, or a Bridge coil is being used with coils in series, connect to terminals 3 & 4.
The inner conductor is connected to terminal 'C' and the outer braiding to terminal
For applications where two coil windings are being used and there are two coil cables, i.e. separate
transmitter and receiver coils; the search coil with the coil socket marked ‘RX’ should be connected
to TB4 1 and 2 and the search coil with coil socket marked ‘TX’ should be connected to TB4 3 and 4.
Note: Switch 4 should be moved to position 2, when in transmitter/receiver mode (TX/RX).
3.3 Control Relay Contacts
Connection to the output contacts of the control relay are made to terminal block (TB2) as
indicated in drawing Figure 6. Four sets of SPDT relay contacts are provided.
In the instance of the optional FAULT relay being fitted, then terminals 10, 11 & 12 of TB2 are used for
this signal. This leaves three sets of SPDT relay contacts for the DETECT signal on TB2 (terminals 1-9).
Note that the FAULT relay operates in a ‘fail-safe’ mode – so when power is applied to the control
unit, it will change state.
The contacts are rated for 5 amps resistive, for either low voltage DC application or for a maximum
of 250V ac application.
3.4 Fuse
Please note there is only one fuse on this Control Unit, located on the front panel and rated at
500mA (230VAC) or 1A (115VAC) A/S.

Figure 7
Switch on the line power and the 'ON' lamp on the case door illuminates.
The red 'FAULT' light will be on if the sensor coil is not connected. When the sensor is properly
connected the light will extinguish.

Note: The illuminated fault light will also cause the 'Detect' lamp to be on.
Rotate the SET ZERO control fully clockwise. If the right hand light illuminates, rotate the Set Zero
control anti-clockwise until this light extinguishes and the green light illuminates.
This adjustment compensates or zeros out any near by metal in the sensor coil detect area. If this
light cannot be illuminated there may be too much metal near the sensor coil. This can be
confirmed by positioning the sensor coil away from all surrounding metal and repeating the test.
After these adjustments, the detector may have operated illuminating the 'Detect' light and the
'Reset' lamp on the detector door. Pressing the 'Reset' lamp button will extinguish both lights.
The ‘Relay’ switch controls the relay function. In the OFF position only the 'Detect light and door
'Reset' lamp operate when metal is present in the sensing area.
In the ON position, the 4 pole DPDT relay, the 'Detect' light and the door 'Reset' lamp operate when
metal is present in the sensing area.
In the LATCH position, the relay and above indicators operate but after the metal is removed, the
relay and the indicators remain on until either the door 'Reset' button is pressed or the 'Relay' switch
is turned to the ON or OFF position.
The 'Sensitivity' control is a gain adjustment control to adjust for the detection of the desired size of
material or to allow for smaller pieces of material to be ignored.
4.1 Indicator Lights
SET ZERO
When the Metalarm is operating and correctly set, the green light of these three lights is the only one
illuminated.
If a piece of metal passing across the Sense coil is large enough it will cause the green light to go
out and the right hand red light to come on while the metal is within the detect range of the Sense
coil.
DETECT
This red light illuminates whenever metal is within the detect range of the Metalarm.
COIL FAULT
This red light illuminates if the sensor is either open circuit, not connected or short circuited.
This light also causes the Detect light to illuminate to prevent operation of the Metalarm until the coil
fault is rectified.
Normally, the Metalarm control unit should not require any major re-adjustments after performing
the adjustments during installation. After switching the control unit on, the green 'Set Zero' light
should illuminate immediately without the need to turn the 'Set Zero' control. Proper operation may
be verified by depressing the 'Test' button, which is mounted on the electronic circuit board
beneath the front panel.
Certain extremely large objects may produce an overload signal causing the unit to indicate
continuously even after the object has passed clear of the sensor coil. Depress the 'Reset' button to
cancel the indication.
NOTE:
Although the control unit will adequately zero out stationary masses of background metal, it will
respond to moving metal near the sensor coil. When mounting the sensor coil, consideration should
not be limited to only large objects such as fork lift trucks, but should be extended to smaller objects
such as maintenance workers carrying metal tools and equipment in the vicinity.
Although the metal detector system is suppressed against both airborne and power supply
interference, some false alarms may nevertheless occur occasionally. Such triggering is usually due
to transient effects, which are both infrequent and unpredictable.
Metallic framework encircling the search coil can act as a "shorted turn". It may be necessary to
insert insulating sections to prevent comparatively small masses of metal generating inordinately
large background signals.

MA3000
The 'Sensitivity' controls permit sensitivity adjustments for detecting or rejecting the desired size of
objects. Rotate the 'Sensitivity' control clockwise to increase the Metalarm sensitivity or counter-
clockwise to decrease the sensitivity.
A coarse sensitivity adjustment (VR1) may be performed by means of the sensitivity adjustment
control on the control unit printed circuit board (see figure 8). Extreme care must be used in
performing the coarse sensitivity adjustment. Consult the factory prior to making any coarse
sensitivity adjustments.
NOTE:
Take particular care, as with the mains supply connected parts of the printed circuit board will be
carrying high voltages. Therefore DO NOT touch anything other than the coarse sensitivity control
you are adjusting.
Rotating the coarse sensitivity adjustment control in the clockwise direction may reduce the
sensitivity of the control unit. Rotate this control one section at a time, checking each time to
determine whether the gain has been reduced sufficiently.
After each coarse sensitivity adjustment, it may be necessary to rezero the internal lights using the
'Set Zero' control and depress the reset button on the enclosure door.
This consists of a row of ten LED’s, which light in sequence from left to right, as the detected signal
level increases when metal approaches the sensor. Normally none or perhaps the first 1 or 2 LED’s
on the left side may be flicking ON and OFF and the last LED on the right side will be constantly ON.
Upon detection of metal each LED starting from the left will individually illuminate until the last two
LED’s on the right hand side are ON. This will mean that metal has been detected and the LED’s will
then revert back to the normal position (stated previously). However, if the Metalarm is suffering
from 'false alarms' which are of a fairly regular nature, then this indicator should be examined, since
it may show more than the first one or two indicators flickering ON and OFF indicating the presence
of some interference which is either mains or airborne. Rotating VR10 clockwise may reduce the
effects of this. The signal level should now move to the left until only 1 or 2 indicators are on. Care
should be taken to not rotate this control further than necessary, since it does reduce the sensitivity
of the unit.
The setting for this control can be measured with a voltmeter between test points TP0 and TP19. The
default value is 180mV.

For the position of the switches, which control additional optional features, refer to figure 8 above.
SW1 Selection of voltage - 115V or 230V 50Hz or 60Hz AC
SW2 (1) Brown - This prevents the metal detector being reset when metal is still in the field of the
search coil - Can only be used when the conveyor belt stops immediately after metal is
detected - to ensure all metal has been removed before the conveyor belt can be
restarted.
(2) Red -Fail Safe Operation. - This powers up the 'Detect' relay immediately power is
connected to the control unit rather than when metal is detected. When metal is detected
therefore the 'Detect' relay drops out. Similarly if power to the unit fails the relay also drops
out - creating a fail safe mode.
All controls on SW2 are off in the 'up' position and 'on' when in the down position.
SW4 This separates the TX and RX coil connections when switched to position 2 and is used when
separate search coils are used for transmitting and receiving, such as to create an even

SW6 This, when switched 'on', i.e. in the ‘up’ position, reduces the integrator speed. This facility is
used where belt speeds are slow, such as in the Wood Industry and where noise levels are
high.
Normally, access to the electronics is not required but if the circuit board requires replacement, the
following procedures must be used.
Turn off the mains supply to the control unit and disconnect all terminal blocks connected to the
base of circuit board by pulling downwards.
Undo the three panel fixing clips by turning a 1/4 turn anti-clockwise.
Undo the five screws holding the two mounting brackets and remove.
Undo the five pillars and three mounting screws. Remove the circuit board and inspect the
enclosure. Remove any foreign material such as loose pieces of metal filings or wire cutting etc.
Install the new circuit board in the reverse procedure of above. Refer to section 4 for testing and
operation.

To stop the conveyor drive motor when metal is detected, connect the Metalarm normally-closed
relay contacts (terminals C and N/C on (TB2)) in series with the conveyor motor contactor, KM1, as in
Figure 9.
After removing the metal, if the system is wired as shown in Fig 9, the conveyor will not restart until
the Metalarm control unit is reset AND the conveyor motor start switch is depressed.

An auxiliary relay is necessary between the Metalarm Control Unit and the motor starter when the
motor wiring system is a fully three-phase delta with no star-point and uses a motor starter with a
415V coil.
The 415 volt motor starter coil exceeds the maximum voltage rating of the Metalarm output
contacts, which are rated at 250V ac maximum.
An auxiliary relay or small contactor is required for the 415V ac contacts.
An auxiliary relay is also necessary when the plant switchgear is generating electrical interference or
brushes are arcing, or when other electrical noise is being created.
This interference will propagate through the air and may also travel along the conductors in close
proximity to the noise sources. When this occurs, interference will be fed into the Metalarm Control
Unit along the interconnecting wires, and will cause false triggering.
An auxiliary relay in a separate enclosure, external to the Metalarm and separate from the main
switchgear cabinet, will normally isolate the offending interference.

8.0 EARTHING OF ASSOCIATED PLANT WHEN FREQUENCY INVERTER SPEED CONTROLS ARE BEING
USED.
Please note that when frequency inverter speed controls are being used in the vicinity of the metal
detector all earth connections must be run independently back to a single star point as shown
below:-
In addition, if filters are being used they should be mounted and connected as shown below:-
Because of the complex circuit design used in these filters an Earth Leakage Current of 8 to 80mA
may be observed. It is possible that nuisance tripping of extremely sensitive type of ELCBs may
occur so this figure should be considered when choosing such a device.
It is important to provide well defined paths for the high frequency currents involved so, by far the
best results are achieved when both filter and inverter are mounted securely on the same
conducting, earthed backplate and not on rails etc.
Supply Cable
The supply cable should be a stranded conductor and not a solid conductor type to achieve
proper connection inside the terminal block, also cable lengths inside the wiring cabinet should be
kept to a minimum i.e. cable entry to filter and filter to inverter. This will reduce the effect of
radiated emissions back into the input cables.
Ver: BKX38-EN-00001 Eriez Metalarm MA300 Series Metal Detector Page 195
X38 Cone Crusher
MA3000
Motor Cable
Since the cable between the inverter and motor is a major source of radiated and conducted
interference, it should be a screened type and as short as possible with the screen and safety earth
core connected directly to the bonded earth post at one end and to the motor earth at the other.
Never connect only one end of the screen to earth as this can be detrimental. (Pig tail effect). It is
strongly recommended that the conducting cores (not the earth or screen) are threaded through,
or, if possible, wound around an output cable filter choke as shown.
Earthing
The point here is to clearly define the paths through which high frequency earth currents flow, and
thereby minimise their harmful effect on other nearby, sensitive devices. All earthing leads, including
filter earth, inverter earth and screened cable earths, should be as short as possible and securely
fastened to the bonded backboard earth post - poor connections and loops of cable will act as
aerials and pick up stray radiated emissions.
Separation
Keep the separation of the input and output cables as great as possible to prevent feedback. Input
and motor output cables should never be run together in the same trunking or conduit.
Control Cables
The control cables to the inverter or any other equipment in the vicinity are obviously highly
susceptible to radiated emissions in the same way and should also never be run along side motor
output cables.
Multiple Inverters
Where more than one inverter is used, for effective suppression, it is preferable that a separate filter
should be used for each inverter.

The Metalarm Control Unit generates a high frequency alternating field within and near the sensor
coil. While the field is strongest on the sensor coil face or in the throat of the sensor coil, it is inherent
in the sensor coil design that a certain amount of the field exists outside of the sensor coil. Certain
environmental conditions may sometimes affect this alternating field causing false and erratic
signals.
If after installation the unit does not work properly, check for compliance with the following hook-up
and installation details before proceeding to the specific causes of interference.
All cable connections should be tight on the terminal blocks in the control unit. Any sensor coil lead
splice should be soldered and taped.
The power source cables should be isolated from varying inductive loads and should be run in a
separate conduit.
The control unit should have a good electrical ground connection.
In certain locations more than one problem may exist and the problems may be interrelated.
Observing the installation site and the operation of the metal detector for repeating symptoms is
very helpful in isolating the causes of the problems.
Correlating malfunctioning occurrences is invaluable for environmental interference trouble
shooting. Observe whether interference occurs at certain specific times and in conjunction with
specific activity.
Observe whether interference occurs when operated by certain personnel or only after physical
change of the environment.
Use the following to help diagnose problems and problem sources and to implement corrective
measures.
Basically environmental interference may be classified into four types, as described below:
Large masses of metal such as shaker screens, metal deflection plates, vehicles etc. may affect
metal detector operation even when at a considerable distance from the sensor coil.
Other smaller masses of moving metal when sufficiently close to the search unit may also cause false
trips.
Interference may exist outside of the room or building and be hidden from operators view, such as
vehicular traffic in an alley next to the building wall or a chain conveyor below or above the floor, or
moving metal objects in an adjacent room.
Corrective Measures
x Secure moving metal objects or remove them altogether if possible, or replace with a non
metallic material. Re-route vehicular traffic.
x Place a metal shield securely fastened and stationary between the sensor and the source of
interference. Place a shield as close to moving object as possible. The size of the shield will
depend on the size of the moving object.
x Install the metal detector in another location free from interference sources.
A source of interference, which is difficult to recognise, is that of the shorted turn. A shorted turn is
formed by metal pieces forming a complete path in an orientation around or near the sensor.
If this is intermittent, as in the case of two pieces of conduit occasionally touching together, the
detector will trip each time the conduits make or break connections. The intermittence may be
caused by physical deflection or vibration of equipment, and by expansion or contraction of metal
due to temperature changes.
Ver: BKX38-EN-00001 Eriez Metalarm MA300 Series Metal Detector Page 197
X38 Cone Crusher
MA3000
The effect of the 'shorted turn' is that of a secondary 'coil' or 'turn' coupled to the metal detector
sensor coil. The varying load of this secondary 'coil' when it makes or breaks is reflected to the sensor
coil tripping the control unit.
The following metal objects may be part of or form a 'shorted turn' by themselves: metal framework,
pipes, conduit, flexible conduit, guard railing, metal catwalks, conveyor rolls, etc.
To determine the existence of a 'shorted turn’: switch the metal detector off and disconnect the
sensor lead at the terminal block. This will disconnect the sensor from the control instrument and
there will be no metal detection.
Now, turn the control instrument on again and set gain control to maximum. Run operation under
normal conditions and observe the signal level indicator. If the indicator is stable at this time, it is
most likely that the sensor is picking up a ‘shorted turn’. However, the problem may also be a break
on the sensor cable.
Check for breaks at this time and replace the cable if necessary.
If the cable is in good condition search for a 'shorted turn' as described in the following paragraph. If
the level indicator is not stable at this time, the problem is likely to be due to excessive line voltage
fluctuation.
To isolate and correct the 'shorted turn' problem, reconnect the sensor coil and turn off all
surrounding equipment in order to eliminate any vibration.
The level indicator should settle down at this time or at least reduce the number of false trips.
Proceed by tapping on all metal objects, starting near the sensor coil and working out from there, in
order to find where the break point is located. It is suggested that one person watch the level
indicator on the control unit in order to observe any movement while another person is tapping on
metal objects around and near the sensor coil.
In some cases, this may be several feet from the sensor coil. Sudden level indication movement
when a metal object is tapped will indicate the intermittent connection. It may be possible to fix the
problem by insulating or permanently securing this metal to metal connection. For example, in the
case of broken weld, re-weld or in the case of a loose pipe or conduit, re-secure the holders.
Electrical interference may be in the form of line voltage 'spikes' caused on-off varying inductive
loads of electrical equipment on the same power line as the metal detector, or other power lines in
close proximity to the supply line for the metal detector.
Corrective Measures
x Use another power line, (without the varying inductive loads) for the metal detector.
x Disconnect electrical equipment causing the large inductive loads.
x Connect interfering electrical equipment to another power source.
x Re-route the power line to the metal detector.
x Install a constant voltage transformer (120 va. minimum) between metal detector and power
source.
Electrical or electronic interference can be radiated into the sensor coil or introduced into the metal
detector from other energy emitting devices such as arcing motors, arc welders, and arcing relay
points.
Corrective Measures
x Remove or replace equipment causing interference.
x Operate welding equipment only at times when metal detector is not required to operate.

To carry out quick tests on MA3000, remove front panel, turn relay control switch to “On” and press SW5. This activates the MA3000 for as
long as the switch is pressed. Don’t forget to switch relay control back to latch mode when testing is finished.
For the length of time SW5 is pressed the following happens. The relay de-energises, The detect LED light comes on, The door
lamp indicator comes on, The zero balance right hand red LED comes on and a trip signal is seen on the bar-graph display.
1. LED & switch lamp indication could have failed. check the following –
1a – If MA3000 resets, check wiring from TB3 to switches / lamps.
1b – Check reset lamp is Ok.
1c – Check for +12v dc across TB3. TB3,8 = 0v & TB3,9 = +12v dc. Voltage should only be present when MA3000 is in detect or
SW5 is pressed.
2. Check Red position of SW2. SW2 should be in the down position. MA3000 is in power fail-safe mode.
3. Relay not operating. Remove relay and see if external alarm condition is cancelled. If alarm condition still present – 3a – Check
external wiring from TB2 and ensure that all connections are correct.

Parts of the enclosure may be non-conducting and may generate an ignition-
capable level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. The
user should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it
may be subjected to external conditions (such as high-pressure steam) which
might cause a build-up of electrostatic charge on non-conducting surfaces.
11. If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, then it is the
responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely
affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
Aggressive substances:e.g. acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals, or
solvents that may affect polymeric materials.
Suitable precautions: e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or
establishing from the material’s data sheet that it is
resistant to specific chemicals.

FEED ARRANGEMENT
The crusher feeding device (screen, conveyor, etc.) Feed evenly
distributed 360°
must be capable of keeping the crushing chamber filled
around the
with a sufficient amount of material at all times. See shaft nut.
Figure 3–13.
Use feed box
Gyrasphere cone crushers require a choke feed, in where possible
which the material level remains at or above the top of
the concave ring.
B
An even distribution of material 360 degrees around the
crushing chamber will result in higher production of the A
desired product size. C
Observe the following guidelines when planning the
feed arrangement and installing feeding devices:
• Position the conveyor, feed chute or other feeding
device so that incoming material hits the center of
the shaft nut.
• If using a feed box, position the box so that incoming
material hits the center of the distributor plate. To
help prevent excessive wear, the feed box should
contain a rock shelf.
• Do not place the feed chute or feed box too close to
the crusher. Uneven distribution of material could
result. Refer to the Assembly Drawings (provided
separately with this manual) for proper dimensions
and clearances.
• It is recommended that any excessively fine or sticky
material be removed from the feed before it enters Figure 3–16. Feed Arrangement

movement may occur.
• If rebar or other metal objects will be present in the
feed, an electromagnet placed ahead of the crusher
is mandatory.
• If needed, install a surge bin of adequate capacity.
The surge bin will help ensure that the crusher
receives a steady amount of feed at all times.

instructions, oil specifications and hose connections.
• Install the hydraulic power unit and prepare it for
operation. Refer to Chapter 8 for installation
instructions, oil specifications and hose connections.
IMPORTANT:
CLOCKWISE ROTATION
Rotation of the flywheel sheave in the opposite ONLY
(counterclockwise) direction may cause gradual
loosening of the crusher shaft nut. Serious internal
damage to the crusher could result. Such damage is not
covered under warranty.
• Use a tachometer to measure countershaft speed at
the flywheel sheave. Countershaft speed must be
checked immediately after the crusher is started for
the first time.
• Actual countershaft speed must be within 3 percent
of the recommended countershaft speed shown in
Table 3–1. Higher speeds may damage the crusher.
Lower speeds will result in reduced production.
Figure 3–18. Countershaft Direction of Rotation
NOTE:
• Refer to the assembly drawings provided with your crusher for sheave sizes, drive dimensions and V-belt specifications.
• Horsepower requirements shown above are for electric motors only. Diesel horsepower is rated differently. If your crusher will be
powered by a diesel engine, contact the Telsmith Engineering Department for diesel horsepower requirements.
• Countershaft speeds shown above are for an empty crusher. The RPM will drop slightly after the material feed is started. However,
the difference between full load and no load RPM will be less than 3% for most crushers.
• Specifications and data shown above are for general reference only, and may not be applicable to all crushers, due to custom
engineering, product improvements or other design variables.
CAUTION: Changes to Drive Speeds must be reviewed by Telsmith or warranty will be voided.

AMPERAGE CHECKS
When troubleshooting hydraulic system problems, the
amperage draw of electrical components in the system can
help isolate problems. Typically, components that are
drawing 25% greater amperage than the nameplate rating can
indicate a problem with the electrical component itself, a
problem in the associated electrical circuit, or a problem with
the controlled mechanical component (valve, pump etc.).

SAFETY
Read and fully understand the precautions contained on the inside front cover of this manual
before operating or servicing the crusher. Also refer to Chapter 1 for important quarry safety
information.
! WARNING
DANGER !!!
Failure to follow the safety precautions shown below may result
in serious personal injury or death!
• Never attempt to work on quarry equipment while it is in operation. Always stop the machinery, lockout power and tag
controls. . .
• Stay clear of feed and discharge areas and other places where falling rock is present. Keep away from loading vehicles. Wear
and use personal protective equipment in accordance with all applicable health and safety regulations. Safety goggles, hard
hat, ear plugs and steel toe shoes are mandatory when working near machinery. Wear and use additional personal protective
equipment as required.
• Stay clear of springs and other pinch points. Never reach in-between vibrating equipment and its support structure. Keep a
safe distance from all moving components.
• Never attempt to enter the crushing chamber when tramp iron or other uncrushable objects are wedged inside. These materials
are under tremendous pressure and may be propelled upwards through the feed opening at any time. On crushers not equipped
with hydraulic clearing, use a pole, hook, grappling device or breaker bar to safely dislodge uncrushable objects.
• Do not make equipment modifications that will result in a safety hazard or create a dangerous situation. Never remove or
disable safety devices. Maintain all machinery in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and maintenance schedules.
• Read the operator’s manuals for the equipment that you operate. Be sure that you fully understand all phases of operation for
each machine. A careful and well-trained operator is the best insurance against an accident.
• Refer to the Telsmith Quarry Equipment Safely Guide for important quarry safety information. If your copy of the Safety Guide
is missing, replacement copies may be obtained from your local Telsmith dealer or the Telsmith Parts Department.
• All rotating power products are potentially dangerous and must be properly guarded. Placement of guards and other safety
equipment is the user’s responsibility. Such equipment must be installed wherever appropriate and maintained as required.
• It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that quarry equipment is installed and used in a safe and lawful manner. All
machinery must be operated in compliance with applicable health and safety laws and general standards of reasonable care.
SERVICE BULLETINS
Telsmith periodically issues service bulletins to inform
customers of the latest repair and maintenance procedures.
Service bulletins may have been included separately with this
manual. Always read and understand all service bulletins (if
present) before starting any maintenance or service work.
SAFETY
All quarry personnel operating or servicing the crusher must
read and fully understand the safety information included in
Chapter 1 of this manual.
In addition, all quarry personnel must read and fully
understand the safety information presented in the Telsmith
Quarry Equipment Safety Guide.

MANTLE, HEAD
AND MAIN SHAFT
1
7F
7F
DESCRIPTION
The mantle is a replaceable cone-shaped casting that forms the
lower surface of the crushing chamber. It is made from
manganese steel, a wear-resistant alloy that work hardens
during crushing.
To allow adequate room for mantle replacement, the support
bowl assembly must first be removed from the upper frame as
described in Chapter 3.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that the entire head
and shaft assembly be removed from the crusher before
beginning mantle replacement procedures. This will allow the
taper head skirt, the inner piston ring and the upper thrust
bearing to be completely inspected.
1
However, if sufficient overhead lifting clearance is not
available, mantle replacement may be performed with the
head and shaft assembly installed in the crusher. Refer to
Appendix F for clearance requirements.
The mantle is secured by a shaft nut located on the upper
threaded portion of the main shaft. Before the nut is loosened,
a burning ring located between the mantle and the nut must
first be cut away with a torch.
A bar-shaped shaft nut wrench is used to loosen and tighten
the shaft nut during mantle replacement procedures. This
wrench is supplied with the crusher special tools.
Smithbond, a special epoxy based backing compound, fills the
void area between the top surface of the head and the
underside of the mantle. It prevents deformation of the mantle
and helps absorb crushing forces. New Smithbond must be
poured whenever the mantle is replaced.
7F Mantle replacement intervals will vary, depending on the
amount and type of material being crushed. However,
replacement should always be performed before the mantle
becomes cracked or excessively worn. Refer to Appendix G
for additional information.

Preparation Description
Highly refined mineral oil, severely hydrotreated slack wax and additives. The highly refined mineral oil con-
tains <3% (w/w) DMSO-extract, according to IP346. The highly refined mineral oil is only present as additive
diluent.
Dangerous Components / Constituents
Exposure limits apply to the following components: Highly refined mineral oil.
3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Safety Hazards
Not classified as flammable, but will burn.
Environmental Hazards
Not classified as dangerous for the environment.
Specific Hazards
Combustion is likely to give rise to a complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases, in-
cluding carbon monoxide and unidentified organic and inorganic compounds.
Extinguishing Media
Foam and dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Water in jet. Use of halon extinguishers should be avoided for environmental reasons.
Protective Equipment
Proper protective equipment including breathing apparatus must be worn when approaching a fire in a con-
fined space.
Personal Precautions
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear PVC, Neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Wear rubber knee length
safety boots and PVC Jacket and Trousers. Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to oc-
cur.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate
barriers. Inform local authorities if this cannot be prevented.
Handling
Use local exhaust ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of vapours, mists or aerosols. Avoid prolonged or re-
peated contact with skin. When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and proper hand-
ling equipment should be used. Prevent spillages. Cloth, paper and other materials that are used to absorb
spills present a fire hazard. Avoid their accumulation by disposing of them safely and immediately. In addition
to any specific recommendations given for controls of risks to health, safety and the environment, an assess-
ment of risks must be made to help determine controls appropriate to local circumstances.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Use properly labelled and closeable containers. Avoid direct sun-
light, heat sources, and strong oxidizing agents.
Storage Temperatures
0ºC Minimum. 50ºC Maximum.
Recommended Materials
For containers or container linings, use mild steel or high density polyethylene.
Unsuitable Materials
For containers or container linings, avoid PVC.
Other Information
Polyethylene containers should not be exposed to high temperatures because of possible risk of distortion.
Exposure Limits
Exposure Dura-
Substance Regulations Exposure Limit Units Notes
tion
Oil mist, mineral ACGIH TWA 5 mg/m3
ACGIH STEL 10 mg/m3
Effective protection is only achieved by correctly fitting and well maintained equipment and employers should
ensure that appropriate training is given. All personal protective equipment should be regularly inspected and
replaced if defective.
Respiratory Protection
At standard temperature and pressure, the Occupational Exposure Standard for oil vapour is unlikely to be
exceeded. Care should be taken to keep exposures below applicable occupational exposure limits. If this
cannot be achieved, use of a respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge combined with a particulate
pre-filter should be considered. Half masks (EN 149) or valved half masks (EN 405) in combination with type
A2 (EN 141) and P2/3 (EN 143) pre-filters maybe considered.
Hand Protection
Nitrile gloves may offer relatively long breakthrough times and slow permeation rates. Test data, e.g break-
through data obtained through test standard EN374-3:1994 are available from reputable equipment suppliers.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After
using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. A non perfumed moisturiser should be applied.
Chemical protective gloves are made from a wide range of materials, but there is no single glove material ( or
combination of materials) which gives unlimited resistance to any individual or combination of substances or
preparations. The extent of the breakthrough time will be affected by a combination of factors which include
permeation, penetration, degradation, use pattern ( full immersion, occasional contacts) and how the glove is
stored when not in use.
Theoretical maximum levels of protection are seldom achieved in practice and the actual level of protection
can be difficult to assess.
Eye Protection
Goggles conforming to a minimum standard of EN 166 345B should be considered if there is a possibility of
eye contact with the product through splashing. Higher rated eye protection must be considered for highly
hazardous operations or work areas. For example, employees involved in metalworking operations such as
chipping, grinding or cutting may require additional protection to avert injury from fast moving particles or
broken tools.
Body Protection
Minimise all forms of skin contact. Overalls and shoes with oil resistant soles should be worn. Launder over-
alls and undergarments regularly.
Environmental Exposure Controls
Minimise release to the environment. An environmental assessment must be made to ensure compliance with
local environmental legislation.
Stability
Stable.
Conditions to Avoid
Extremes of temperature and direct sunlight.
Materials to Avoid
Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Hazardous decomposition products are not expected to form during normal storage.

Exposure Controls
The use of personal protective equipment is only one aspect of an integrated approach to the Control Of
Substances Hazardous to Health.
The management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 require employers to identify and evaluate the
risks to health and to implement appropriate measures to eliminate or minimise those risks. The choice of
personal protective equipment is highly dependent upon local conditions, e.g. exposure to other chemical
substances and micro-organisms, thermal hazards (protection from extremes of cold and heat), electrical
hazards, mechanical hazards and appropriate degree of manual dexterity required to undertake an activity.
Whilst the content of this section may inform the choice of personal protective equipment used, the limitations of
any information which can be provided must be fully understood, e.g. personal protective equipment chosen to
protect employees from occasional splashes maybe entirely inadequate for activities involving partial or
complete immersion.If the levels of oil mist or vapour in air are likely to exceed the occupational exposure
standards then consideration should be given to the use of local exhaust ventilation to reduce personal
exposure.
The choice of personal protective equipment should only be undertaken in the light of a full risk assessment by
a suitably qualified competent person ( e.g. a professionally qualified occupational hygienist).
Effective protection is only achieved by correctly fitting and well maintained equipment and employers should
ensure that appropriate training is given. All personal protective equipment should be regularly inspected and
replaced if defective.
Respiratory Protection
Care should be taken to keep exposures below applicable occupational exposure limits. If this cannot be
achieved, use of a respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge combined with a particulate pre-filter should
be considered. Half masks (EN 149) or valved half masks (EN 405) in combination with type A2 (EN 141) and
P2/3 (EN 143) pre-filters maybe considered.
If product is subjected to elevated temperatures, half masks (EN 149) or valved half masks (EN 405) in
combination with type AX (EN 371) and P2/3 (EN 143) prefilters maybe considered.
Hand Protection
Chemical protective gloves are made from a wide range of materials, but there is no single glove material ( or
combination of materials) which gives unlimited resistance to any individual or combination of substances or
preparations. The extent of the breakthrough time will be affected by a combination of factors which include
permeation, penetration, degradation, use pattern ( full immersion, occasional contacts) and how the glove is
stored when not in use.
Theoretical maximum levels of protection are seldom achieved in practice and the actual level of protection can
be difficult to assess. Effective breakthrough time should be used with care and a margin of safety should be
applied. HSE guidance on protective gloves recommends a 75% safety factor to be applied to any figures
obtained in a laboratory test. Nitrile gloves may offer relatively long breakthrough times and slow permeation
rates. Test data, e.g breakthrough data obtained through test standard EN374-3:1994 are available from
reputable equipment suppliers.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using
gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. A non perfumed moisturiser should be applied.
Eye Protection
Goggles conforming to a minimum standard of EN 166 345B should be considered if there is a possibility of eye
contact with the product through splashing. Higher rated eye protection must be considered for highly
hazardous operations or work areas. For example, employees involved in metalworking operations such as
chipping, grinding or cutting may require additional protection to avert injury from fast moving particles or broken
tools.
Body Protection

The management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 require employers to identify and evaluate the risks to health
and to implement appropriate measures to eliminate or minimise those risks.
The choice of personal protective equipment is highly dependent upon local conditions, e.g. exposure to other chemical
substances and micro-organisms, thermal hazards (protection from extremes of cold and heat), electrical hazards, mechanical
hazards and appropriate degree of manual dexterity required to undertake an activity.
Whilst the content of this section may inform the choice of personal protective equipment used, the limitations of any data
which can be provided must be fully understood, e.g. personal protective equipment chosen to protect employees from
occasional splashes maybe entirely inadequate for activities involving partial or complete immersion.
If the levels of vapour or particulate in air are likely to exceed the occupational exposure standards then consideration should
be given to the use of local exhaust ventilation to reduce personal exposure. The choice of personal protective equipment
should only be undertaken in the light of a full COSHH and risk assessment by a suitably qualified competent person ( e.g.
a professionally qualified occupational hygienist).
Effective protection is only achieved by correctly fitting and well maintained equipment and employers should ensure that
appropriate training is given. All personal protective equipment should be regularly inspected and replaced if defective.
In the first instance, further guidance maybe obtained through HSE's publication "COSHH - a brief guide to the regulations"
(INDG136(rev1)).
Hand Protection :-
Chemical protective gloves are made from a wide range of materials, but there is no single glove material ( or combination
of materials) which gives unlimited resistance to any individual or combination of substances or preparations. The extent of
L84042 23 : 08 : 04 Page 3 of 8
the breakthrough time will be affected by a combination of factors which include permeation, penetration, degradation, use
pattern ( full immersion, occasional contacts) and how the glove is stored when not in use.
Theoretical maximum levels of protection are seldom achieved in practice and the actual level of protection can be difficult to
assess.
Effective breakthrough time should be used with care and a margin of safety should be applied. HSE guidance on protective
gloves recommends a 75% safety factor to be applied to any figures obtained in a laboratory test.
Nitrile gloves may offer relatively long breakthrough times and slow permeation rates. Test data, e.g breakthrough data
obtained through test standard EN374-3:1994 are available from reputable equipment suppliers.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands
should be washed and dried thoroughly. A non perfumed moisturiser should be applied.
Respiratory Protection
At standard temperature and pressure, the Occupational Exposure Standards are unlikely to be exceeded.
Care should be taken to keep exposures below applicable occupational exposure limits. If this cannot be achieved, use of a
respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge combined with a particulate prefilter should be considered.
Half masks (EN 149) or valved half masks( EN 405) in combination with type A2 (EN 141) and P2/3 (EN 143) prefilters maybe
considered.
If Antifreeze Concentrate is subjected to elevated temperatures, say, half masks (EN 149) or valved half masks( EN 405) in
combination with type AX (EN 371) and P2/3 (EN 143) prefilters maybe considered.
Eye Protection
Goggles conforming to a minimum standard of BS EN 166 345B should be considered if there is a possibility of eye contact
with Antifreeze Concentrate through splashing.
Higher rated eye protection must be considered for highly hazardous operations or work areas, employees involved in
metalworking operations such as chipping, grinding or cutting may require additional protection to avert injury from fast moving
particles or broken tools.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID
MATERIALS TO AVOID
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
The substances arising from the thermal decomposition of these products will largely depend upon the conditions bringing
about decomposition. The following substances may be expected from normal combustion :
Basis of Assessment
Toxicological data may not have been determined specifically for all end points ( e.g. mutagenicity, carcinogenicity,
reproductive toxicity, repeated dose and acute toxicity, corrosivity, irritation, sensitisation etc ) for this substance/preparation.
Assessment will be based on a combination of test data, human experience, toxicological data generated on similar
components and the conventional method.
Antifreeze Concentrate is classified as harmful by ingestion (deaths have been reported on swallowing large quantities). The
toxicity of ethanediol is principally due to it's metabolites. Renal damage has been observed in man with the deposition of
oxalate crystals.
At very high doses in animal experiments, foetotoxicity has been observed, but it's relevance to man has still to be clarified.
Antifreeze Concentrate contains an aversive agent which has an extremely bitter taste.
INHALATION
Due to its low vapour pressure, Antifreeze Concentrate is not considered likely to present an inhalation hazard at ambient
temperature. At elevated temperatures, the vapour may irritate the respiratory tract.
Precautions :
Inhalation of vapour, mists and aerosols should be avoided. If this cannot be achieved by safe working practices, suitable
respiratory protection should be used.
First Aid :
Remove the person affected to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, obtain medical attention.
SKIN
Antifreeze Concentrate is expected to be slightly irritating to the skin and is harmful by skin absorption on prolonged or
repeated exposure.
Precautions :
All contact must be avoided by the use of suitable protective clothing Launder contaminated clothing before reusing.
L84042 23 : 08 : 04 Page 5 of 8
First Aid :
EYES
Precautions :
If there is a risk of splashing while handling the liquid, suitable eye protection should be used.
First Aid :
Do not delay. Flush the eye with copious quantities of water for up to 10 minutes. Refer for medical attention.
INGESTION
Ingestion of ethanediol may lead to serious intoxication, and possibly death. There may be effects on the central nervous
system, on the cardio-pulmonary system, and on the kidneys, with renal failure. Ingestion of as little as 100 millilitres may be
fatal for an adult. Antifreeze Concentrate is rapidly absorbed causing symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication, and
cardio-vascular effects. Death may occur from renal or hepatic failure : survivors usually have complete recovery of renal
function, although cerebral damage may be permanent.
Precautions :
Accidental ingestion is unlikely except in the case of children. Normal handling and hygiene precautions to avoid ingestion,
especially by keeping out of reach of children.
First Aid :
The normal advice given in the case of ingestion of hydrocarbon products is that vomiting should be avoided owing to risks
of aspiration into the lungs. Owing to the toxic effects and rapid absorption from the stomach, this advice is modified for
Antifreeze Concentrate as follows :
WITH A CONSCIOUS PATIENT, if hospital assistance is not likely to be immediately available, attempt to induce vomiting.
Continued exposure to vapour of Antifreeze Concentrate can induce unconsciousness, nystagmus and lymphocyosis. Death
from ingestion of the liquid is due to renal or hepatic failure. Survivors usually have complete recovery of renal function.
Cerebral damage may however be permanent. There is no human or animal evidence for carcinogenicity or mutagenicity.
L84042 23 : 08 : 04 Page 6 of 8
Ecotoxicological data may not have been determined specifically for all end points for this substance/preparation. Assessment
will be based on a combination of test data, other available evidence, ecotoxicological data generated on similar components
and the conventional method.
Antifreeze Concentrate should be managed in the environment as a preparation at most slightly toxic but posing an indirect
hazard to the aquatic environment because of ready biodegradation leading to oxygen depletion. Avoid gross contamination
of the soil. Minimise contamination of water because of deoxygenation hazard. Spilled material should be contained and
removed as completely as possible. Final traces can be dispersed with water.
AIR
Antifreeze Concentrate is a mixture of non-volatile components, which are not expected to be released to air in any significant
quantities.
WATER
If released to water, Antifreeze Concentrate will dissolve. In view of deoxygenation hazard, consider dilution or (artificial)
reaeration. It will not bioaccumulate significantly.
SOIL
If released to soil Antifreeze Concentrate is highly mobile and will, in significant quantities, permeate to lower soil levels and
may reach groundwater in which it will dissolve.
Any disposal route must satisfy the requirements of the of the Environmental Protection Act, 1990, the Environment Act 1995,
and should comply with any local byelaws. byelaws.
Envirowise offers free advice through a national helpline. Initial contact by industry and commerce should be made to the
Environment and Energy helpline ( 0800 585 794). The Envirowise programme is sponsored by Government and seeks to
encourage good practice in environmental protection technology and techniques.

F32002 03 : 10 : 02 Page 1 of 8
3: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is classified for supply purposes as : Harmful ( R40: Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect and
R65: Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed), and Dangerous for the Environment ( R51/53 Toxic to aquatic
organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment).
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil satisfies the criteria for the additional risk phrase - R66: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness
or cracking.
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is a combustible liquid, which may explode under certain conditions, e.g. in the presence of
electrostatic charges generated, for example, during pumping or tank cleaning or by other sources of ignition or flame
impingement on containers.
Accidental ingestion can lead to vomiting and aspiration into the lungs, which can result in chemical pneumonitis, which can
be fatal.
Prolonged and repeated skin contact can lead to defatting of the skin, drying, cracking, dermatitis, erythema, oil acne and oil
folliculitis. Warty growths have occurred and these can become cancerous.
Exposure to high vapour concentrations can lead to nausea, headache and dizziness. Excessive and prolonged exposure to
mists may cause a chronic inflammatory reaction of the lungs and a form of pulmonary fibrosis.
It should be assumed that the flashpoint of Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is equal to or less than 60.5 Deg. C. unless the carrier
has obtained contrary test data. Consequently, Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is classified for conveyance purposes as a
flammable liquid.
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil will not biodegrade in anaerobic conditions and, hence, can be persistent. It contains components
which have a high potential to bioaccumulate.
INHALATION
Remove the affected person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped administer artificial respiration. Give cardiac massage if
necessary. If the person is breathing, but unconscious, place in the recovery position. Obtain medical assistance immediately.
SKIN
Flush the contaminated skin with water. Use soap if available. Contaminated clothing should be soaked with water, removed,
and laundered before reuse.
EYES
Flush the eye with copious quantities of water. If irritation persists refer for medical attention.
INGESTION
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If ingestion is suspected, wash out the mouth with water, and send to hospital immediately.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID
MATERIALS TO AVOID
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
The substances arising from the thermal decomposition of these products will largely depend upon the conditions bringing
about decomposition. The following substances may be expected from normal combustion :
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is classified as harmful owing to the aspiration hazard.
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil carries the additional risk phrase - repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
The main hazards are: in the case of inhalation of higher vapour concentrations, of effects on the central nervous system ;
in the case of skin contact of, defatting and irritation ; in the unlikely event of ingestion, of aspiration into the lungs with possible
resultant chemically induced pneumonia.
Exposure to higher vapour concentrations can lead to nausea, headache, dizziness, loss of consciousness, and, in oxygen
deficient environments, death. A person exposed to significant concentrations of vapour may display drunken behaviour, and
his judgement can be impaired.
If the product is accidentally ingested, irritation to the gastric mucous membranes can lead to vomiting. If this occurs, there is
a high probability of the product being aspirated into the lungs, which can lead to chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.
F32002 03 : 10 : 02 Page 4 of 8
INHALATION
Under normal conditions of use Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is not expected to present an inhalation hazard.
Precautions :
Inhalation of vapours should be avoided. Where, exceptionally, higher concentrations of the vapour may be encountered, e.g.
in the event of a spillage in a badly ventilated area, persons should not be allowed to enter the area, even in an emergency,
until the atmosphere has been checked and passed as safe for entry by a competent person.
First Aid :
Remove the affected person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped administer artificial respiration. Give cardiac massage if
necessary. If the person is breathing, but unconscious, place in the recovery position. Obtain medical assistance immediately.
SKIN
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is slightly irritating to the skin, and has a defatting action on the skin.
Precautions :
Avoid contact with the skin by the use of suitable protective clothing.
First Aid :
Flush the contaminated skin with water. Use soap if available. Contaminated clothing should be soaked with water, removed,
and laundered before reuse.
EYES
Precautions :
If there is a risk of splashing while handling the liquid, suitable eye protection should be used.
First Aid :
Flush the eye with copious quantities of water. If irritation persists refer for medical attention.
INGESTION
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is classified as harmful owing to the aspiration hazard. Ingestion can lead to vomiting and aspiration
into the lungs, which can result in chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
Precautions :
Accidental ingestion is unlikely. Normal handling and hygiene precautions should be taken to avoid ingestion.
First Aid :
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING Wash out the mouth with water, and, if ingestion is suspected, send to hospital immediately.
Show this Data Sheet to the physician drawing attention to "Notes for Doctors" below.
The main hazards arise from skin contact and in the inhalation of mists.
F32002 03 : 10 : 02 Page 5 of 8
Skin contact over prolonged and repeated periods can lead to defatting of the skin, dermatitis, erythema, oil acne and oil
folliculitis. Where occupational and personal hygiene practices have been of a poor standard, warty growths have occurred
and these can become cancerous.
Excessive and prolonged inhalation of mists may cause a chronic inflammatory reaction of the lungs and a form of pulmonary
fibrosis.
High pressure injection injuries require surgical intervention and possibly steroid therapy to minimise tissue damage and loss
of function. Because entry wounds are small and do not reflect the seriousness of the underlying damage, surgical exploration
to determine the extent of involvement may be necessary. Local anaesthetics or hot soaks should be avoided because they
can contribute to swelling, vasospasm and ischaemia. PROMPT surgical decompression, debridement and evacuation of
foreign material should be performed under general anaesthetic, and wide exploration is essential.
There may be a risk to health where low viscosity products are aspirated into the lungs following vomiting, although this is
uncommon in adults. Such aspiration would cause intense local irritation and chemical pneumonitis. Children, and those in
whom consciousness is impaired, will be more at risk. Emesis of lubricants is not usually necessary, unless a large amount
has been ingested, or some other compound has been dissolved in the product. If this is indicated - for example, when there
is rapid onset of CNS depression from a large ingested volume - gastric lavage under controlled hospital conditions, with full
protection of the airway is required. Supportive care may include oxygen, arterial blood gas monitoring, respiratory support
and, if aspiration has occurred, treatment with corticosteroids and antibiotics. Seizures should be controlled with Diazepam,
or appropriate equivalent drug.
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil contains fuels, diesel which is classified as toxic to aquatic organisms/ may cause long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment.
AIR
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is a mixture of mainly non-volatile components, which when released to air will react rapidly with
hydroxyl radicals and ozone.
WATER
If released to water, Shell Agricultural Gas Oil will evaporate at a very slow rate. A small proportion will dissolve. Dissolved
components will be either absorbed in sediments or evaporate to air. In aerobic water and sediments they will biodegrade,
but in anaerobic conditions they will persist.
SOIL
Small volumes released on land will evaporate at a very slow rate, with a proportion of the product being absorbed in the upper
soil layers and being subject to biodegradation. Larger volumes may penetrate into anaerobic soil layers in which the product
will persist. The product may reach the water table on which it will form a floating layer, and move along with the groundwater
flow. In this case the more soluble components, such as aromatics, will cause groundwater contamination.
Shell Agricultural Gas Oil is a special waste owing to its supply classification. It should be disposed of to a licensed waste
contractor. Any disposal route should comply with local byelaws and the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act,
1990.

directly or in an absorbent. Dispose of as for small spills.
Handling
Use local exhaust ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of vapours, mists or aerosols. Avoid prolonged or
repeated contact with skin. When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and proper
handling equipment should be used. Prevent spillages. Cloth, paper and other materials that are used to absorb
spills present a fire hazard. Avoid their accumulation by disposing of them safely and immediately. In addition to
any specific recommendations given for controls of risks to health, safety and the environment, an assessment
of risks must be made to help determine controls appropriate to local circumstances.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Use properly labelled and closeable containers. Avoid direct sunlight,
heat sources, and strong oxidizing agents.
Storage Temperatures
0ºC Minimum. 50ºC Maximum.
Recommended Materials
For containers or container linings, use mild steel or high density polyethylene.
Unsuitable Materials
For containers or container linings, avoid PVC.

Exposure Limits
No Exposure Limit Established
Exposure Controls
The choice of personal protective equipment is highly dependent upon local conditions, e.g. exposure to other
chemical substances and micro-organisms, thermal hazards (protection from extremes of cold and heat),
electrical hazards, mechanical hazards and appropriate degree of manual dexterity required to undertake an
activity.
Whilst the content of this section may inform the choice of personal protective equipment used, the limitations of
any information which can be provided must be fully understood, e.g. personal protective equipment chosen to
protect employees from occasional splashes maybe entirely inadequate for activities involving partial or
complete immersion.If the levels of oil mist or vapour in air are likely to exceed the occupational exposure
standards then consideration should be given to the use of local exhaust ventilation to reduce personal
exposure.
The choice of personal protective equipment should only be undertaken in the light of a full risk assessment by
a suitably qualified competent person ( e.g. a professionally qualified occupational hygienist).
Effective protection is only achieved by correctly fitting and well maintained equipment and employers should
ensure that appropriate training is given. All personal protective equipment should be regularly inspected and
replaced if defective.
Respiratory Protection
Not normally required. If oil mist cannot be controlled, a respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge
combined with a particulate pre-filter should be used.
Hand Protection
Chemical protective gloves are made from a wide range of materials, but there is no single glove material ( or
combination of materials) which gives unlimited resistance to any individual or combination of substances or
preparations. The extent of the breakthrough time will be affected by a combination of factors which include
permeation, penetration, degradation, use pattern ( full immersion, occasional contacts) and how the glove is
stored when not in use.
Theoretical maximum levels of protection are seldom achieved in practice and the actual level of protection can
be difficult to assess. Nitrile gloves may offer relatively long breakthrough times and slow permeation rates. Test
data, e.g breakthrough data obtained through test standard EN374-3:1994 are available from reputable
equipment suppliers.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using
gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. A non perfumed moisturiser should be applied.
Eye Protection
Goggles conforming to a minimum standard of EN 166 345B should be considered if there is a possibility of eye
contact with the product through splashing. Higher rated eye protection must be considered for highly
hazardous operations or work areas. For example, employees involved in metalworking operations such as
chipping, grinding or cutting may require additional protection to avert injury from fast moving particles or broken
tools.
Body Protection
Minimise all forms of skin contact. Overalls and shoes with oil resistant soles should be worn. Launder overalls
and undergarments regularly.
Environmental Exposure Controls
Minimise release to the environment. An environmental assessment must be made to ensure compliance with
local environmental legislation.
